My favorite things

My mother laundered her sheets weekly, drying them on a clothes line in the backyard. Slipping into bed at night, with a smell that never could be re-created by a dryer sheet, is exactly what spring and summer fashion for 2012 is evoking. Soft colors that are somehow still saturated. A crisp pleating that still blows with the breeze. And a carefree feel that isn’t untidy or fussy, but rather charming.

I love the chiffon fabric and knife pleating as a fresh design element. And all of today’s deals feature colors that call to mind creamy Easter eggs. Fresh pleating and sweet hues are among my favorite things for spring and summer.
